@romungi-MSFT It has been almost a year since I provided everything you asked for. Can you update please as the problem still persists?
Irrelevant results randomly inserted in Bing Search API results
Hi All
While using Bing Search API v7 I noticed that recently it started inserting more and more irrelevant/random results in the response. Queries below done with default settings, 20 result count, from us-west.
query: steve jobs
query: swar integer
Is this a general problem with quality of Bing results or something we could somehow mitigate by using the API differently?
